Description
Louis Durot studied engineering and organic chemistry, but was always drawn to the world of art, and had many artist friends, He became friends with Cesar, and Durot’s knowledge of chemistry enabled him to develop a stable and permanent form of polyurethane, which Cesar then used for his famous Expansions.
Durot was also interested in working with the polyurethane that he developed, and beginning in 1968, he produced anumber of exotic pieces based on carnivorous plants and unusual mushrooms. This chair is much more structured and sculptural than most of his other work.
